Yeah.. I like the gameplay in this game, the story is ok, everything else is just meh.

The money is completely useless. The Skill Tree does hardly anything for me crucial to succeeding in the game, and playing on the highest difficulty level is a cake walk. The AI is way too dumb for it all to be immersive. Ammo could have been more scarce, forcing one to value their shot selection more. It's like all resources are at your disposal throughout the entire play through, which completely takes away from the survival aspect of it all.

I like this game a lot for a few reasons, one being the freedom. Another reason is the absolutely massive and gorgeous setting. The exploration is fantastic as are the hunts of dangerous animals. The guns are solid as well, although a larger selection would have been cool.

All in all, the game was/is fun, but I'm not seeing the ridiculous ratings it's been receiving. It would have gotten an 8/10 at best from me, which is still very solid.

Ahhh I keep getting murdered by roving bands of Komodo Dragons. These things are deadly. Entire Merc units being wiped out before they turn their scaly eyes towards me and you can't see the damn things in the long grass.

Also - where on earth are all the damn wild boars? I can't find them anywhere...

Get some better weapons. The higher rated assault rifles or Signature weapons will take out Komodos easily with a couple bursts. Also, just play smart. Don't go running everywhere expecting not to be attacked by wildlife, esp at night. You can easily hear Komodos as you approach them, and they don't crawl onto rocks, not even low ones. Using vantage points like this, then marking and sneaking or killing is good strategy. Vehicle hoods or roofs are also good safe spots, and ones I used a lot in Dead Island too. With such methods it doesn't matter what weapon you use against them, as long as it's not a weak one. Get to a safe spot, mark them, then lure them in with rocks and head shot them a couple times with a shotgun then finish them off with a longer range weapon.

Animal types are marked on the map. One of the few Boar symbols appears before the first mission where you collect Boar skins and plants, but you can also find them randomly here and there. Quite often you'll see them at a small farm down the hill from Earnhardt's house. Sometimes goats appear there instead. Seek and ye shall find.

Is anyone else going through this stupid glitch that prevents you from completing the side-mission "a connection to the past"? Is Ubi Soft going to release a patch that's going to fix that and all the other shit in the game?

It doesn't make much sense to just blatantly rant about such things without even mentioning what platform you're playing on and what happened to make you believe it's bugged, aside from these other things you say need fixing.

I had no problem getting all 3 tablets and returning them to the quest giver on the PC version, and I've seen videos of others whom have as well.

Wow, I had no idea you're so sensitive.

If you believe that it's not bugged, then care to explain why some say that the lobby system for multiplayer is broken, map editor crashes, and some of the missions are bugged while others say they have no problems? You can't tell me that I'm the first person to point out glitches in Far Cry 3, otherwise you don't like to listen to what you don't want to hear.

Nothing in what I said automatically implies any emotion or sensitivity. I was merely pointing out the obvious. You made a rant about the game being holistically bugged without even detailing exactly what made you think that particular mission was bugged. That makes it kinda hard to answer your post. As I said, I had no trouble completing that mission and I've seen others do it, but without knowing what you were having a problem with, it's impossible to determine whether you just weren't using the right methods or looking hard enough, or actually DID experience a bug.

I can't comment on the mp, because at 54, my mp playing days are behind me. I DID however fire up the editor after first installing the game, before the latest patches were even available, and never experienced a crash. All I really did was place weapons, various AI, towers and vehicles on the default mini island in the editor, but all worked fine. I did do some extensive modding with SB2 for Crysis, and I can tell you that if your system isn't powerful enough for the particular editor you're using, or if you don't use the right methods, problems can arise.

Quirks with editors are common though, esp when they're new, so I can't rule that out. However as many people as there are that experiment via trial and error with map editors, often times on rigs that can barely handle them, you simply can't go by internet testimonials alone either.

I'm not trying to tell you Far Cry 3 is perfect, far from it, but I'm also a realist. I take each comment on a case by case basis based on my experiences, what I've seen or heard others experience, and by what they say about the problem they're having, and so far you've given zero details about your specific problems with this quest.

The most common complaints about the game as far as technical issues I've experienced and seen mentioned is that it can't handle OCing very well. That is why many lower or disable their GPU or CPU overclocks for this game. Lets back up a bit, relax, and start from where you came in complaining about this quest though.

1. Were you able to get the quest from the quest giver?2. Did you find any or all of the 3 tablets?3. If you found the 3 tablets, did you again find the quest giver to return them?

Sorry to say guy, but if I'm the one being "sensitive", why is it I am the one having to outline how you should be explaining your problems? Seems to me you're too riled to post concisely about this, which makes you sound a bit oversensitive yourself.

@FragManiac: How was it a rant when it was just a question? Seriously the problem with you fanboys is how you love to jump the gun. And yes, you're trying to say Far Cry 3 is perfect, otherwise why are you denying some of the negative facts of the game? You didn't experience them. . . .Okay, you got lucky during your playthrough while everyone else (not just me) are going through some issues. And thanks to your useless help, I went looking else where about the glitches, and yes, other players are in fact experiencing the same glitch that I'm going through.

Seeing how you posted a lengthy post about how the problems of Far Cry 3 are not really a issue shows that the only one ranting is you.

You sound as confused as your avatar looks. Just about every point of your last posts on this subject have been to holistically label the game as broken and a waste of time, yet plenty of people in threads dedicated to the game are busy talking about how much they enjoy playing it, while ignoring troll remarks that bitch and don't detail any of the actual so called glitches they're claiming to be experiencing.

Thus the only conclusion one can draw is you are not in fact looking for help, but rather a place to vent with your childish little tantrums, or worse yet, stir up hate toward the game. It's non productive trolling and it does nothing to make anyone of sound mind believe the game is as broken as you say. There's no rationality to just ranting with a claim of a glitch, without giving ANY shred of explanation as to what exact problem your having other than the quest doesn't work.

Indeed, gamers like you are the reason so many that work in tech support for games assume the average user to be an idiot that doesn't know how to install a game, update drivers, shut off resource hogging background programs, or even maintain their system in general, because it's all about whine, whine, whine and no specifics that might actually help troubleshoot.

I tried to handle this rationally kid. You're clearly the one too upset and thin skinned to comment on it intelligently. You're best off ignored than taken seriously if you can't get your shit together and man up, because for some reason you take attempts to clarify and troubleshoot as a hostile attack.

The game is certainly not perfect, and anyone who's seen some of my posts about it knows full well I am certainly no die hard fanboy of it as you claim, but at the same time it's getting a lot of undeserved smack talk from people whom aren't even detailing the trouble they're having.

Bottom line, this is a what did you like about it poll thread, not a troll thread. Anyone with common sense or a sincere desire to seek help with such problems would instead post such comments on the tech support board of an official forum, but with your attitude, you'll probably get yourself banned long before they could get any useful info out of you.

What's it like living under a rock? You only pay attention to your own whining and that of a few others, while ignoring the dozens of videos showing proof across all main platforms that this quest isn't in fact broken like you make it sound.

When I experience something odd in a game that I've not heard most talk about, I don't assume it's a bug. I search for others having the same problem, and if only a few mention it, esp with no details like you did, I know it's probably only a few isolated cases. I then look for workarounds and usually find out what's causing it.

Get a clue, I've said several times this game has it's flaws, just not as you claim it does, and you have absolutely nothing to prove it with. Again, consumers like you are why support people don't take some of us seriously.

You ought to just move on if you can't accept reality. Hanging out on fan threads of the game and spinning fallacies about it isn't getting you anywhere.

@FragManiac: Now you're relying on insults? LOL. One question and you go a-wall with how you practically believe that Far Cry 3 is a perfect game. You sure are a fanboy goldmine.

Also, is this how you treat your consumers? Ubi Soft should fire your ass for this inappropriate behavior over someone stating a fact about the game - the bugs/glitches. Have you ever heard of the old saying: "The costumers is always right"?
